Cold..Cold...Cold

Cold..Cold...Cold

When you don’t want to get in the pool because it’s too cold,
but then you don’t want to get out of the pool cause it’s too cold!

Winter will be here in a few short weeks and there are a lot of misconceptions we’d like to clear up before then.

Kids do NOT catch cold because it’s cold. 

Fact. Kids catch cold because the cold and flu is a virus that comes around in the fall and winter. 

Fact.  Schools are the most common place where the cold and flu virus gets communicated from one student to another. 

Fact.  The chemicals in the pool kill all virus including cold, flu, COVID, etc. 

Fact:  Swimmers are NOT likely to catch cold in the pool.  The pool is safer than the school.

The best training program in the world is absolutely worthless without the will to execute it properly, consistently, and with purpose. (John Romaniello)

Kids will get cold.

Fact:  We keep our water temperature around 80-82 degrees year round.  Fact:  Kids do NOT get cold in the water.

Fact:  It takes about 5 minutes after the kids get out for them to start to feel the cold.  That’s enough time for them to dry off and put on their cozy parka.

Recommendation:  Do NOT change or shower in the locker rooms at the pool.  They are not heated.                

Parents will get cold or have to sit in their car.

Fact:  Our meeting room is heated and has lots of room for our parents. 

Consistent training is the key to keep the mind and the body in good health.  It is the path towards accomplishing goals.  Good health and mental fitness is a duty … otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.” (Anonymous)
